ARKANSAS CAN STRIDE FURTHER
TO THE FRONT.

In a recently published statement OF
the total value of property in the several
southern states, Arkansas stands ahead OF
only three Mississippi, Florida and
South Carolina. The causes for the three
states being at the bottom of the list may
be bad lands, bad management, or may
be due to the colored population. Be this
as it may. Arkansas has no occasion to
ulead either cause for her standing in the
list. We have good lands, an economic
government, and ignorance is being rap
idly dispeled. We have 1t now in our
power TO soon increase the lead of Arkan E
sas in this list. The opportunity is pre-
sented 10 the remotest corners of the most
incongeniently located county in the state.
Every neighborhood can be represented
at the Exposition, all at once. This is the
way to attract capital and brains to our
borders, With a few thousand more
energetic monied men in Arkansas to as
sist in opening up and eultivating our
hills and valleys, to unearth our rich ores,
to dot our country with manufacturing
establishments, Arkansas can indeed be
made TO blossom as the rose and hIurish
as the spreading sycamine. Let us wake
TO the proper sense of our capabilities.
Why, every farmer IN the state can send
some worthy specimen. The RECORD
hopes to see Sharp county come to the
front with results of her best efforts.

SEND ENEMIES 70 DEMOCRACY TO
TIE REAR.

We often hear men ponder the question
What difference does it make with US
who is elected, republicans or democrats?'
The remark is made in reference to both
national and state elections. Here is a
comparison in which the figures are taken
from the books at Little Rock: For the
six years the republicans were in power
in Arkansas it took SS,532, 232 to run the
state government. During the twelve
years of democratic rule just closed only
1886, 1863 was necessary TO run the grand
ship of state-less than one-fourth the
amount per year consumed under a re-
publican NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. COUNTY
RECORD.
Aud the RECORD might have added
that, in addition to running the ship OF
state, the democratic administrations have
erected and put in operation Lunatic
Asylum that is credit to the state; erect
ed new or additional buildings for the
Blind School and Deaf Mute Institute,
and repaired and enlarged the State
House to satisfy the necessities of the
state for ten or twenty years to come.
And that is not ALL Nearly two millions
of floating Indebtedness left US by the
republicans state scrip-has been settled
in full, and by the meeting of the next
legislature nearly million dollars of the
old bonded Indebtedness will have been
paid. And in the face of all this states
men ?) of the Carl Lee type have the
effrontery to say to the people that there
is mo difference between the two old
parties" Shame on such would be
lesders.-Arkansas Beacon.
Sharp County record., 1887-09-08

A great quantity of valuable timber
lands in Arkansas are attracting the at
tention of northern lumbermen, especially
those of Michigan, where timber is rap
idly becoming a landmark of the past.
They are steadily increasing their posses
sions of large tracts of land in our state IN
view of the speedy disappearance of tim
ber in the north. This fact should be
remembered by those of our people who
are so fortunate as to own such property,
which in the course of few years will be
of untold value. Hang on to your forests
of pine, walnut, oak, gum, hickory and
other valuable timber, for in the course OF
a few years there will be millions in it."

The s:reamlet glides toward the sea,
Yet winding as it flows,
Presents a pretty scene to me
Which I will now disclose.
1t rushes DER the rocky shOal
And makes a mighty roar,
Toward the region of its goal:
The Gulf OF Mexico.
The boys who fish upon its brink
Doth much emotion feel;
As they have got fish they think,
When, 10! 'Tis but an eel.
The fishtrap in the stream is placed
Beneath yon Willows shade.
And to it oft the boys have paced
To see what luck they've had.
Close by this brook the farmer plows;
He raises wheat and corn,
And raises hogs and sheep and cows.
He wakes at early morn.
This stream, though small at first,
Now helps to turn the mill.

MIND THE DOOR.

Have you ever noticed how strong a
street door is; how heavy the hinges, what
large bolts it has and what q firm lock
If there was nothing of value in the
house or no thieves outside, this would
not be wanted; but as you know there are
things CT value within, and bad men
without, there is need that the door be
barred or bolted st night.
We have a house-our heart may be
called house. Wicked things are for
ever trying to break in and go out Of our
heart. Let US see what some of these bad
things are:
Who is at the door? All, know him.
II is anger. What a frown there is on
his face! How his lips culver See his
fierce looks. We will bolt the door ard
and not let him in, or he may do US harm.
Who is that? 1t is pride. How naughty
he seems He looks down on everything
as though it was too mean for his notice.
No, sir; we shall not let you in, 90 you
may go.
Who is this2 1t may be vanity with
his Haunting strut and gay clothes. He
is never so we'll pleased as when he has a
fine dress to wear, and is admired. You
must not come in sir; we have too much
to do to attend to such fine folks as you.
Mind the door Here comes strsng-
er. By his sleepy look and slow pace we
think We know him. 1t is sloth. He likes
nothing better than to live in my house
and sleep and yswn my life away, and
bring me to ruin. No, no, you idle fell
low. Work is pleasant, aad bsYe much
to do. Go away; you shall not come in.
But who is this? What sweet smilel
What kind face! She looks like an
angel. 1t is LOVE. How happy she will
make Us if We ask her in. Come in
Come in We must unbar the door for
you.
Oh, if children kept the door of their
hearts shut bad words and wicked
thoughts would not go in and come out as
they do. Open the door to all things
good; shut the door to all things bad. We
must mark well who comes to the door be-
fore we open it, if we would grow to be
good men and women. Keep guard and
mind the door of your heart. Selected.
